Additional Shaco Build Insights

LoL Shaco players could find him to be a confusing character to build out properly. You will notice that his build varies when he is up against either well-rounded or specialized team compositions, meaning you should not take the same Shaco build every single game of League of Legends

The best items to incorporate into your champ's build are: Liandry's Anguish, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Cosmic Drive. Players who added these pieces in their kits had a much higher winrate than players who worked towards other builds for Shaco. Similarly, if you are playing a varied enemy team comp, you should really consider grabbing Shaco the Domination, and Sorcery runes. In recent matches, he won the largest percentage of his games when using these runes.

We established our Shaco build recommendations by analyzing 85,221 recently ranked League rounds with him in them. We only advise the top winrate Shaco builds that have been built by ranked players enough times for us to propose them. With so many games in our data, we are very confident in our recommended builds.
